no big deal on RGM not qualifying,the only thing today was the 38 made it in. Still gotta hope Coneay can hang on Sunday and the 38 has some issues along with teh 71. I've been in the sun all day hanging a roof on my dad's polebarn today so the sun has dazed, but I am going with the 7 still in the top 35 Sunday night.

KC will will finish a STRONG 39th only because they will run 29 laps instead of 9 like the others , but he did qualify 45th promising-- Im a huge Robby fan and hope for more Nascar in the future and Robby deserves more credit than he gets .but For now Baja 1000 and Dakar is all im waiting for........ Does anybody know where to get the aluminum water jet cut # 7 key chain ?

First off, let me say that I've been a huge supporter of Robby's NASCAR "adventures" since his time with RCR, and I wish him and his organization nothing but the best. That being said, I can't wrap my head around the importance of staying in the top 35 in regards to the first five races for next year or attracting potential sponsors. If I remember correctly, Robby has already stated that he doesn't plan on running a full schedule next year, and staying in the top 35 hasn't as of late helped with the sponsorship either. Does it really matter if the 7 car drops out of the top 35?

If kc can run half the race he could have a good finish maybe 25-30

Not many cars are really falling out anymore (SS tracks excluded). If someone runs a half race, they typically finish 35-37th. Full race may get them a top 30.

Bring the car home in 1 piece and hope for the best in points. You likely aren't going to outrun the #38 the way it's been running of late, so maybe the #71 stumbles. No faith at all for any RGM driver qualifying at 'Dega on speed.

thats because being locked in the top 35 for the last 19 plate races the cars were setup at the shop in 100% racetrim/downforce. If they are outside looking in, the preparation at the shop will be for q trim .Lets get through Sunday first.
